I neglected to point out that I installed the antenna with four 66 foot
long radials which are at a height of 10 feet above the ground. See the
web-site for details about using "eighth wavelength tuned radial system"
instead of the "full length radials".
Instructions are provided that tell how to tune the antenna, top-hat
wires, and radials to the top or bottrom of the band. It's fairly easy
to do, but take your time as I pointed out. Don't try to do it all in
one step!
